I want one for our office/guest room, but prefer it be large enough for two to sleep in. This IKEA daybed has been on my list for a long time for its multi-functionality, but I haven't seen it in person and don't know if it would work well for two people and as seating for the office: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30080316

Really like the CB2 one -- might have to go check that out!

Love the WE!

i think that ikea is clearly a twin by the dimensions: 41" is not enough for two grown people.

it really would be nice if someone offered a full-size daybed.

@lady J, I assumed it somehow converted into a two-person bed or was adaptable to one, since the description says "Sofa, single bed, bed for two and storage in one piece of furniture." and recommends the foam or latex mattress if intended to be used as a double bed. It's hard to know without seeing it and the description and pictures aren't very helpful.

The CB2 folds out to a full size bed and is super comfortable. Daughter has one in "my" bedroom, aka guest room.

Re Hemnes bed: It does. I was just researching that bed this weekend. This youtube video is helpful

The amount of spam on this post is ridiculous....go away!!

I have an Ikea daybed (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20162888) - it does convert into what is essentially a 'double twin', which seems roughly equivalent to a short king, by pulling out the whole front panel (easy for one person to do!). You have to buy two twin mattresses to use the bed this way - they stay stacked when the bed is in it's twin configuration. I wanted something that could accommodate visiting couples but wouldn't take up the entire (small) room - very happy w/ this option! Honestly I rarely use it as a couch, but have slept on it in the expanded configuration multiple times (it's in the room that has air conditioning!) and it's pretty comfortable. I forget which mattresses I opted for, but that's probably a big variable...

Just a few weeks ago, we set up an extra-long twin bed (no fancy frame) in our office-TV-craft room and I cannot imagine our lives without it! All 5 of us (2 adults+1 child+2 dogs) spend hours together in this tiny room. My husband grumbled about the moving and cleaning that we had to do to get the bed set up but no one loves it more than he does!

I have a daybed with a trundle underneath that can be popped up. The surprising thing is that it is on our covered deck. I can sleep outdoors all year round! It rocks!

I grew up sleeping on a daybed with a pop-up trundle. While they're nice to have, they're hell to make repeatedly. When I was tiny I slept on top of the covers or on the trundle because I hated making the bed.

I love daybeds! I always planned on getting one for our tiny spare room, but never did. Now that room might end up being a baby room sooner than later, so no point in investing in a daybed now. But perhaps one day in a different house!

I have an older Ikea one I got from ebay, similar to the W. E. one in my office/guest room. I sleep on it a fair bit during the summer as the office is the only air conditioned room in the house. Looks OK and is certainly comfortable. Only problem is making it up: difficult to get the covers on neatly without bashing your knuckles against the three-sided frame. . .

I think daybed's are a great idea for an office/guest room. The only problem is I don't think I can convince my inlaw's to sleep together on a single mattress. I have been thinking of alternatives similar to #4 but with another mattress hidden under a skirt so it can be pulled out and there is a place for two to sleep... the height difference will mean no cuddling at my house I guess.

I think daybeds with trundles are the way to go in a guestroom. I spent months looking for one and lucked out by finding an MCMish one on Craigslist. It would be perfect if it was a daybed with popup trundle. This makes it so much easier for older adults. Though I liked the Lubi and it seemed pretty comfortable there is no way I would force my older relatives to sleep on this thing (way too low when opened to a full).

I love daybeds, but unfortunately a lot of the modern ones don't allow room for a trundle bed underneath. That's where the true flexibility of a day bed comes in, where you can sleep two people when needed and hide the trundle giving you more space when not in use.

I haven't seen this Jonathan Adler chaise before - very nice! It is really hard to find something stylish and comfortable in the daybed family. I finally settled on the Room & Board Holden studio sofa for my closed in sleeping porch, which I'm trying to turn into a reading nook/mild weather only guest room.

Personally, I like having only the rooms I use on a regular basis and no leftovers. A futon in the office sleeps two comfortably for short-term visits. That's perfect because it keeps guest stays at a reasonable length and doesn't result in yet another room to furnish and keep clean.

A lot of good design comes from constraints. Many of us would be nimbler and more creative if we embraced rather than fought smaller spaces.

We have this daybed with pop-up trundle from Ballard Designs. It's perfect for converting our office to a parent-friendly guestroom. You can't really push the beds together because of the frame, but at least they get to sleep at the same level.
